Small, family-run cafe turning out excellent Persian-leaning sandwiches, soups, and fresh juices at fair prices; go for Kotlet, beef, or egg sandwiches and expect limited seating and occasional lines.
Melville Café delivers solid neighborhood cafe performance through exceptional sandwich and soup quality with a homemade feel, paired with warm, attentive ownership and excellent value for downtown pricing. Limited seating and crowding at peak hours and modest interior design prevent a higher grade, though loyal repeat customers and consistent execution across multiple years demonstrate reliable quality for a quick, satisfying lunch destination.
One caveat: Limited seating makes dine-in tricky during peak times; takeaway recommended
